Hello,
We are currently have about 4 domain in the same forest. I would like
to consolidate 4 domain to be using Corp. Here is an example of our
structure. I would like to know how can we do this and what's the
downtime and do we need to create new desktop profile for everyone
outside of corp? Thank you
corp.microsoft.com
china.corp.microsoft.com
texas.corp.microsoft.com
uk.corp.microsoft.com
Depending on the number of users, desktops and how many remote locations you
have, this can be a major migration.
I would agree with Paul and suggest to migrate all users, groups and
computers from each child to the corp domain using ADMT. First migrate usres
and groups. Once completed, migrate the computer accounts as well selecting
the security translation option. Once the computers are over, the migrated
users will be able to access their old desktops.
